Thanks to all who sent Birthday wishes yesterday...when I arrived at work I was told I should go home and enjoy the US Open and my birthday. So I grabbed a sub sandwich at Lennys (Italian - genoa salami, cappocola, provolone, prosciutto and ham) with lettuce, onions, red pepper relish and spicy mustard) and headed home. Grabbed a beer and watched 3.5 hours of incredible competition.
Eventually Tiger won his 14th Major, but Rocco Mediate was just so great also, it would have been nice if they could have tied as they were after 18 holes of playoff. On the first hole of sudden death, Rocco slipped and Tiger won it with his almost 1-year old daughter Sam in attendance.
And a huge update. Friday was the physical exam for the Police Department. Matt was 20th out of 240 on the written exam. They called back the top 90 for the physical exam which was a 1 mile run (timed, he did it in just under 7 minutes), then 35 pull-ups, 35 push-ups and finally 35 sit-ups, (timed at 30 seconds for each, Matt finished all but 4 sit-ups), a 50 yard drag of a heavy bag (timed he did it in 3.7 seconds), a run up and down 2 flights of stairs with medical emergency equipment (timed - I do not have his time on this) and then 2 laps in an Olympic size pool. No rest between activities.
Matt called back early this evening to tell me he came in 2nd out of the 90 on the physical exam and ranks 6th overall. They had the cut at the top 10 for the oral exam, so he is one step closer! I am so incredibly proud of my son. What a birthday present that call was!!!!
I tried to visit some of you, but it was just such a whirlwind day, I did not get to all of you. As I write this I wait for darlin' Nancy to come by, because she said she has CAKE!!!! Even better...CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!!! This sucker weighed about 6 pounds there is so much chocolate in it!
Dig in Travis and Bee..and everyone else.
